On
October 22, 2012, Nexter Systems created Nexter Robotics, a new subsidiary
wholly-owned by the Group. Nexter Robotics provides new solutions for
the needs expressed both by France’s Armed Forces and friendly forces
abroad for small-scale robots capable of performing reconnaissance and
counter-IED (Improvised Explosive Devices) missions for route clearance,
while also offering new applications for Civil Security units.

The first product in the Nexter Robotics line, the NERVA LG robot, was
unveiled last year at the EuroSatory 2012 trade show.

Both in France and
abroad, working directly with customers and through its network of partners,
Nexter Robotics is primarily focusing its activities on design, development,
industrialization, production, commercialization and technical support
for both land-based and air/land hybrid robotic systems, together with
all the associated components and mission modules. Nexter can also provide
tailor-made engineering solutions to incorporate robots in existing
weapon systems and infrastructures, and is developing licensing agreements
as part of its activities.

The products developed by Nexter Robotics have a direct impact on the
protection of operational personnel, enabling them to project their
sensory capabilities into danger zones without being directly exposed
to threats. Human and operational capacities can be fully maintained
for the most strategic missions. Nexter robots can also be designed
as a natural extension of operational vehicles—in particular for
military applications (remote viewing and remote-controlled actions
to neutralize suspicious objects, etc.)— to provide a full range
of built-in capabilities. The first product in the Nexter Robotics line,
the NERVA LG robot, was unveiled last year at the EuroSatory 2012 trade
show. Designed and built by Nexter Systems, NERVA LG will also be performing
demonstrations at IDEX 2013.

The unique setup at Nexter Robotics makes the company extremely flexible
and responsive. Working closely with the scientific community and robotics
specialists through contractual agreements, Nexter can quickly integrate
mature technological advances and pertinent technical solutions in its
products.
